 And outside the continent, the United States has announced an additional 30 million dollars in aid for the victims of recent floods that displaced hundreds of thousands of people across the country. The Prime Minister's office said the aid was announced by U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Donald Blum during his visit to flood-heat areas in southern Sinu province, the hardest heat region. Now, Washington's total assistance to Pakistan for flood response, food security, disaster preparedness and capacity-building efforts now stands at 97 million dollars. The new fund then will expand efforts to address immediate needs, scaring up assistance to the most affected communities, and enable the United States Agency for International Development, U.S. AID, to reach more than 4 million people.
